In 2003 an updated version of the coin was issued. The new version includes a latent image. It is also now beaded.

From Wikipedia:

Palmyra was an ancient Arabic city in central Syria. In antiquity, it was an important city located in an oasis 215 km (134 mi) northeast of Damascus and 180 km (110 mi) southwest of the Euphrates at Deir ez-Zor. It had long been a vital caravan stop for travellers crossing the Syrian desert and was known as the Bride of the Desert. The earliest documented reference to the city by its Semitic name Tadmor, Tadmur or Tudmur (which means "the town that repels" in Amorite and "the indomitable town" in Aramaic) is recorded in Babylonian tablets found in Mari.

Though the ancient site fell into disuse after the 16th century, it is still known as Tadmor in Arabic. There is a newer town of the same name next to the ruins. The Palmyrenes constructed a series of large-scale monuments containing funerary art such as limestone slabs with human busts representing the deceased.

Depending on your definition of ruined, the Castel del Monte (which is not the place where canned fruit originated) on the Italian 1 eurocent coin may also qualify: it looks pretty good outside, but the inside is stripped bare. Think of Bodiam castle in England for an equivalent.

A huge collection of ruined buildings on this piece: Machu Picchu. Nobody who has ben there will forget the sight from the vantage point everybody goes to. This is one of a long series, many of which feature ruins. I don't think they circulated.
